Learn about Solis Error Code OV-G-V01, its causes, and solutions for grid voltage fluctuations.
Error Code OV-G-V01 indicates that the inverter is shutting down due to grid voltage fluctuations. This can lead to performance issues and requires immediate attention.
To prevent grid voltage fluctuations, ensure that your electrical connections are secure and check for any nearby equipment that may cause interference. Consulting with a professional can also help.
The OV-G-V01 fault code indicates that the inverter has detected a grid voltage that exceeds its operational limits. Inverters are designed to protect themselves from overvoltage conditions to prevent damage. This protection mechanism is triggered when the measured voltage exceeds the maximum threshold set by the manufacturer. The inverter uses voltage sensing components to continuously monitor grid voltage. If these components detect a voltage higher than the allowable range, the inverter will automatically shut down to prevent potential damage to its internal circuitry and connected components. This can be influenced by fluctuating utility grid conditions or faults in the system's wiring or grounding.
Users may observe the inverter displaying the fault code OV-G-V01 on its LED screen or monitoring app. This may be accompanied by a complete shutdown of the inverter, resulting in a noticeable drop in energy production. Additionally, the system may intermittently restart, only to trip again shortly after, indicating a persistent issue with grid voltage stability.
Always consult a licensed electrician or certified solar installer when troubleshooting or repairing solar inverter issues to ensure compliance with safety standards and local codes.
To avoid future occurrences of the OV-G-V01 fault, regularly inspect and maintain the grounding system and all wiring connections. Conduct routine voltage measurements to ensure the utility grid remains within acceptable limits. Additionally, consider installing surge protection devices to mitigate the impact of environmental factors such as lightning strikes.
